And I did ask him to elaborate on his comment that "I was being scammed by my internet friends and the courses and therefore had no real concept of just how complicated RE investing really is."

Instead, I bought a solid core metal door from Home Depot for about $125 (and another $50 in odds and ends), then began the awful task of making it fit.

The extra $50 you pay for each task will quickly add up to $10K, $20K, $30K or more -- and there goes the profit.This is why I'd rather pay an independent carpenter $25-35 per hour, having him install the doors for $20 each (he can do one or two an hour) and then paying a PM to manage it all for me.

My next task is reaching out to the city to find out their process for assigning the unsold liens, as I know they don't hold separate sales for them.
